Turboprop Market Update
Tighter than the jet market, and slower to clear.
This is the first Integris monthly on the United States turboprop market. It is built on the same JETNET STAR source, the same 31 July data date and the same United States, in-operation basis as the jet edition, so the two can be read side by side.
It covers 123 models, 8,099 aircraft in operation and 505 active listings. The model rows tie exactly to the source report totals.
Tighter than the jet market, and slower to clear.
The headline comparison is the useful one. Turboprops are scarcer than jets and slower to trade. 6.2 percent of the US turboprop fleet is listed, against 7.2 percent of the jet fleet. Yet the average turboprop takes 308 days to sell, against 255 days for a jet.
Less to choose from does not mean faster to transact, and owners planning an exit should not read a tight market as a quick one.
Inside the market the divide is age, not size. The Pilatus PC-12 is the tightest segment at 2.9 percent and the fastest at 202 days.
Legacy King Airs, the 90 and 100 series, are the loosest at 8.4 percent and by a wide margin the slowest at 445 days, close to fifteen months.
A buyer willing to take on an older twin has both leverage and time. A buyer who wants a PC-12 has neither.

Asking range is the span of model-level average asking prices within each segment, not the range of individual aircraft. It is an asking figure in every case, never a transaction price.
Model averages are a starting point, not a valuation
What the numbers are, and what they are not
Aircraft trade off market, and identical variants trade at very different numbers depending on airframe time, engine position, avionics and upgrades. Model-level averages cannot carry that range. Every price in this report is an asking figure, never a transaction price.
Fleet counts, listings, days on market and asking prices come from the JETNET STAR report Aircraft Market Statistics By Model (Aircraft Based, Global / United States / International), All Turboprops, dated 31 July 2026. Headline figures cover United States based aircraft in operation.
All 123 tracked turboprop models appear in the full report's appendix; the 5 with no US-based aircraft carry a world fleet count only. Model rows sum to the source report totals of 8,099 US in operation and 505 US for sale. Asking prices are model-level averages of advertised United States prices, rounded to the nearest $1,000; 51 models carry no US asking figure and are shown as n/a rather than filled from the worldwide average. Days on market is listing-weighted. Segment definitions are Integris classifications, extended from the Q2 2026 turboprop scheme to cover models that scheme excluded. This is a new series and does not compare to prior jet editions.
